i don't buy dean z's "zing theory" at all. there is much more going on here. unless mich is the only school of the 15 T20s to which i applied who decided i didn't have any zing for them. i'm honestly not bitter with mich for YPing me, but i don't respect their denying their practices afterwards. and i saw a ton of people WLed on this thread who also received plentiful offers from better schools--i do not believe every other school chose based solely on gpa/lsat.

congrats on yale. now, if only you had the zing to get into michigan

i know, it is a shame. i shall practice harder on my zing, particularly my backhand zing, which is my weakest shot.

This thread has clearly lost its Zing. The page count has exceeded Michigan's 75th percentile. I just don't think it would be a good fit. Its a shame too, because if it was reviewed a few days ago it most definetely had Zing then. I guess timing is everything.

So, can we quit talking about YP? She admitted it does happen, but that everything happens in shades of gray. I don't think us talking about it will get anyone admitted, and a lot of people who got WL'd because of it are in at better schools, so even though they might have really liked Michigan, they didn't get hurt all that badly.

I know the real gripe is in people denying YP, not that anyone is really all that mad they got YP'd (although some may be...), but it certainly makes for a disappointing visit to the forums when that's all we talk about it.
